Vampire goddess

VAMPIRE GODDESS

Beep! Beep!! Beep!!!. The alarm rang loudly.

Maurine gets up as early as 5:30 am and does some stretching and dashes into the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a hot bath. She feels so relaxed and suddenly remembers Damien's pain the previous night.

“I hope he is alright now, I hope so,” she said to herself. She gets dressed in a baby pink color short gown that was slit at the back, the dress is so simple and gorgeous, she combs her hair and packs it up in a ponytail.

There was a knock on the door.

“Room service” a tiny voice calls out.

“ Come in, “Maurine said, arranging the files.

“ Here is your order”. The room service said as she places the tray in her hand on the French table.

“ Thanks,” Maurine said without looking up.

She takes her breakfast of toast bread and tea.

“Thank you”. Maurine ends her speech looking confident and fulfilled.

There was a thunderous roar of clapping in the hall.

Maurine descended the podium and started chatting with some guests, many praised her for the beautiful speech she made and her support and achievements.

After a while, the attendees started departing, Maurine sighed in relief.

“What a beautiful speech, Maurine,” Isabella said.

“ You nailed it, you're still as smart as you were back then in high school. Speaking of high school, where is Damien? Are you guys married?" she said, smiling brightly.

“ Good to see you, Bella, I'm sorry I have to go now”. She said hugging Bella before handing her contact over to her” Call or text me on this number”. She said, smiling back at Isabella.

“Okay, I will surely contact you,” she said in her tiny voice.

" Here is the coffee you asked for madam, the air hostess said as she handed a cup of coffee to Maurine."

“ Thanks, “Maurine said in a tired voice.

She hates Madrid, it reminds her of the past. The sorrow, the pain, and the trauma, it's still there even after twenty years she could remember the scenario.

It was on a damp night in Spain, and a mystical ambiance enveloped the surroundings, adding an air of enchantment to the atmosphere.

The air is heavy with moisture, and a gentle mist hangs in the air, casting a hazy veil over the landscape. The scent of wet earth mingles with the fragrance of blooming flowers, creating a unique olfactory experience.

As darkness descends, the soft glow of streetlights casts long, distorted shadows on the cobblestone streets. The dampness enhances the reflective quality of the surfaces, causing the lights to shimmer and dance, creating a me smerizing effect. The sound of raindrops falling gently on tiled roofs, narrow alleyways, and old stone structures fills the air, forming a soothing symphony. As the night progresses, the dampness begins to subside, and the rain gradually recedes, leaving behind a sense of freshness and renewal. This was the beginning of her mystery.

“olivia, dinner is ready,” Juliana called out.

“ Alright Mom, I will be there in five minutes," she said as she began to pack her books into her backpack, she had just finished her assignments.

Humming to Micheal Jackson's song “beat it” she heads for the bathroom to wash herself off the sweat. She changed into a fresh cloth and headed downstairs, as she gets to the stairwell of their mansion she heard some noise;

"Where is that, bastard?” a man said snarling.

“ I don't know who you're talking about!” Juliana said, struggling to free herself.

“ Where is that werewolf husband of yours?” the man snarled once again.

“ Let's go of her, have you forgotten she's the vampire Goddess? A descendant of the great Dracula.” another man said, pouring out some wine for himself.

“ Desmond, You have always been my only friend, how could you do this to me,” Juliana said weeping.

“We had stopped being friends ever since you chose that godforsaken werewolf over me.” He said, boiling with anger.

“ You impregnated my best friend, even when I was betrothed to you, how dare you talk about my husband like that!.”

“ Mum, who is this person?" Maurine had asked her mother that night.

“ Honey, come over here.” her mother said trying to hide her face from the rest.

“What a copy of yours you've gotten there,” Desmond said, sounding surprised, I didn't know you had a child already.

“well she will be a good match for my son Mason,” he said expressionlessly.

“ Guards, grab the girl,” Desmond said, snarling.

“ Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on my daughter?”

“ Mom, what's going on, these men are scary.”Maurine had said innocently that night.

“ Grab her now!.”

“ Please, spare my daughter, she's just six, too young to be dragged into this rivalry.” her mother said, weeping.

“The plane is about to land” the voice comes from the speaker of the plane. Bringing Marine back to the present, she had been thinking about her past for the last ten hours.

“ Fuck Madrid" she mumbled.
